Pride celebrates a ‘Decade’
PRIDE Fighting Championships is promoting “Decade,” a retrospective of the first 10 years of the promotion. It is available on demand on pay-per-view.
Stars of the ‘Decade’ show include Chuck Liddell, Mark Kerr, Don Frye, Kevin Randleman, Frank Trigg, Nobuhiko Takaka, Quinton Jackson and Renzo Gracie.
Speaking of Gracie, he was in the main event of the Pride TV show on Fox Sports Net last week. Gracie faced in Kazushi Sakuraba in a fight from PRIDE 10: Return of the Warriors back in 2000.
The first 10-minute round was painfully slow, as the fighters spent more than a minute in a clinch. The action revved up in the second round, and Sakuraba caught Gracie in a wicked-looking kimura armbar for the victory.
PRIDE also aired a fight from Shockwave 2005 with James “The Debt Collector” Thompson against the 7-foot-2 Giant Silva from Brazil. Thompson knocked the former WWE wrestler off his feet and clobbered him in less than 90 seconds.
